German term or phrase: anteilig
Sollte vor Ablauf dieser Ladezeit der Strom erneut ausfallen, ist die Überbrückungsdauer nur *anteilig* zu gewährleisten.

This is for a vending machine:
I've translated Überbrückungsdauer as *reset time*. A backup battery has been depleted during a power outage. After power returns this backup battery starts recharging. Full recharge takes 8 hours. If another power outage occurs before 8 hours then something happens to the *reset time*
